    In a heartbeat already have the list
    On a Hot morning in cyprus I found the meaning of anger. Fortunataly I was comftably numb.
    The RSM and various other NCO's seemed very agitated.
    maybe they should look into counselling?

    A much better question would be:

    Where in the UK would you most like to open up on the civpop?

    It would have to be Liverpool for me every time.

    Northern Ireland is, of course, part of the UK - so we've had the practical as well as the theoretical!

    The questioner (typical commie) does presume that, merely because they are civpop, they aren't actually doing anything to give us legal cause to mow them down in a hail of ball.

    Well that depends. I wouldnt have done it for Tony or Gordon - I'd have shot them first, but not in the head as neither one would have noticed- but given a legitimate order by someone I believed had made a morally defensible decision, i would have no hesitation.

    Dont forget rapists, peadophiles, communists, the "long-term unemployed" and labour supporters are all examples of civpop so there could be perfectly good reasons for the order to be given.

    I would make my own judgement on the day. I would be willing to shoot civilians threatening my life / national securtiy.

    I would also be willing to arrest / commit an officer who I felt was acting against the greater good.

    Current Affairs forum is getting more and more like the NAAFI........ both OP's and replies . I think it's called dumbing down in modern parlance.

    With you on that one. Then when we have finished there we can flip a coin and go West to Wales or East to Leeds.
    It came off in me hand chief!

    If I had wanted to burn, collect sand in everything I own, overheat, run around, shoot things with something less than 4.5inch caliber, wear green/sand coloured baggy outfits, live more than 16m above Sea Level I would have joined the Army.

    Has the CivPop been turned into a hoard of flesh eating zombies?
    If you can read this - Make me a sandwich!
